| April 4 | 2023 GETTING TO KNOW YOU It is always our goal to provide quality local grocery items, goods, and gardening supplies. We try our best to keep our customers' interests and requests in mind when adding new products, while also keeping a good variety in our selection. We would like to get to know you even more. If you would please take a few minutes to complete the attached anonymous survey below, we feel that it would be very helpful in getting a better insight into the community that we serve. We appreciate your time. CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE PLEASE CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE THE ANONYMOUS SURVEY. A SECRET BIG CHAIN GROCERY STORES DON'T SHARE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS Big chain grocery stores are able to put their private label on meats, produce, and more. The tricky thing about this is you don't actually know where the food is coming from. A container of mixed greens may say "Distributed by So-and-so Big Name Grocery Chain - Whereverville, USA", but the produce inside may not even be from the U.S. This is how the big box stores get around telling you where the food actually comes from. You never have to worry about that at our market. We know exactly who grew and raised everything we carry, and we always share that information with you on the tags around the store. Better yet, we have the best prices on organic produce than any stores around...plus, our product is more fresh due to how local we source our items. EARTH DAY EVENT! Saturday, April 22nd is Earth Day , and we are excited about a fun event that we have planned for you. We will also be featuring discounts on select items in the store the entire week leading up to Earth Day. Stay tuned for more details! FIRST STOP INCENTIVE We would love to be the first place you stop on your weekly shopping trip. When you purchase $150+ in grocery, household, and personal care essentials , you automatically receive 10% off those items . This includes, but is not limited to: produce, meat, dairy, canned goods, coffee, bread, oral care, soaps, shampoos + conditioners, feminine care products, laundry detergent, dish washing products, and more! COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY In order to be more sustainable in our daily operations, we ask that you bring your reusable bag(s) when you shop with us. We have many wonderful bags available for purchase here in the store, all of which give back to the environment with each sale. We have paper bags available for a fee... while they last.
